As I am marking one year at the Eclipse Foundation as the Jakarta EE Program Manager, I am looking forward to the major milestone we are all eagerly waiting for - the Jakarta EE 8 release. We now have an official release date: September 10th, 2019! It feels like the whole (very large) Java EE community and enthusiasts have been waiting for this way too long!

We hope you’re enjoying the Jakarta EE monthly email update, which seeks to highlight news from various committee meetings related to this platform. There’s a lot happening in the Jakarta EE ecosystem so if you want to get richer insight into the work that has been invested in Jakarta EE so far and get involved in shaping the future of Cloud Native Java, read on.

Two months ago, we launched a monthly email update for the Jakarta EE community which seeks to highlight news from various committee meetings related to this platform. There are a few ways to get richer insight into the work that has been invested in Jakarta EE so far, so if you’d like to learn more about Jakarta EE-related plans and get involved in shaping the future of Cloud Native Java, read on.

Last month, we launched a monthly email update for the Jakarta EE community which seeks to highlight news from various committee meetings related to this platform. We have also decided to publish these updates as blogs and share the information that way as well. There are a few ways to get a grip on the work that has been invested in Jakarta EE so far, so if you’d like to learn more about Jakarta EE-related plans and get involved in shaping the future of cloud native Java, read on.

The open source community has welcomed Oracle’s contribution of Java EE into Eclipse Foundation, under the new name Jakarta EE. As part of this huge effort and transfer, we want to ensure that we have the necessary rights so we can evolve the specifications under the new Jakarta EE Specification Process. For this, we need your help!

The Jakarta EE Working Group charter identifies three key committees to drive the various facets of the working group for which there are elected positions to be filled: the Steering Committee, the Specification Committee, and the Marketing and Brand Committee.

The elected positions are to represent each of the Enterprise Members, Participant Members, and Committer Members. Note that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees.

The Jakarta EE community is the driving force behind the future of cloud-native Java. Active participation represents the best way to drive the vendor-neutral and rapid innovation necessary to modernize enterprise systems for cloud use cases. That said, we’d like to make sure that the community is kept up-to-speed with the latest developments in the Jakarta EE ecosystem.
